In which year did the Russian revolution started?

The Russian revolution started in the year of 1917.

Important Points

• The 1917 Russian Revolution overthrew the imperial government and established the Bolsheviks in power.
• Increased government corruption, Tsar Nicholas II's reactionary policies, and Russia's disastrous losses in World War I all contributed to widespread discontent and economic suffering that led to the revolutionary Russian revolution.
• The February Revolution and the October Revolution are the two main events of the 1917 Russian Revolution.
• The February Revolution, which overthrew Tsar Nicholas II, arose spontaneously from a series of increasingly violent protests and rioting in Petrograd's streets (present-day St. Petersburg).

Additional Information 

• Though the February Revolution was a popular movement, it did not necessarily reflect the aspirations of the majority of Russians because it was confined to the city of Petrograd.
• However, most of those who rose to power after the February Revolution, both in the Provisional Government (the temporary government that replaced the tsar) and the Petrograd Soviet (a powerful local council representing workers and soldiers in Petrograd), favored rule that was at least partially based on the Constitution.
• The October Revolution (also known as the Bolshevik Revolution) brought in the Soviet Union by overthrowing the temporary provisional government.
• The October Revolution, on the other hand, was a far more planned event, orchestrated by a small group of individuals.
• The Bolsheviks, who launched the coup, had barely six months to plan it.

Therefore the correct answer is 1917, as it is the year of the starting of the Russian revolution.
